Aug-31-10 M Narciso Dublan vs Kryvoruchko, 2008    Utopian2020: I like 80..... Qxf4+ 81.gxf4 e1Q+ 82.Kh5 Qe2+ 83.Kh4 Qf2+ 84.Kh5 Qf3+ 85.Kh4 Qf4+ 86.Kh5 Qg5#      Aug-12-10 M Roiz vs Naiditsch, 2010    Utopian2020: If the point is to choose the best line for black, then Qf4 appears best. However, it neither wins nor draws. It only prolongs. 39...Qf4 40. Re1 Qf3+ 41. Qg2 Qc3 42. Qe2 (g6, Ra5, or Rb5) 43. d5      Jul-26-10 Iturrizaga Bonelli vs V Kulakov, 2008    Utopian2020: Black's fatal mistake, although there were many earlier, was 28...Qc5 relinquishing the a1-h8 diagonal. As long as black's queen commands the a1-h8 diagonal white cannot achieve victory.      Jul-17-10 Salov vs Karpov, 1994    Utopian2020: Still don't believe me. Let's go back a few more moves. Here the White king has finally abandoned the h5 file pawn. Black to move. [DIAGRAM] ...Kxh5, kd6 kg4, kc6 kf5, kb6 Nb8 and we are back at the two position analyzed above as draws. Conclusion: Karpov blundered, this game ...      Jun-17-10 R Shamshin vs I Polovodin, 1989    Utopian2020: 55...Ra3+, 56. Rxa3 (not 56. Ra5 Rxa5+, 57. Kxa5 Ra2+, 58 Rxa2 e1Q+ black winning) e1Q, 57. a1Q is a draw. Black must first play 55...Rh6+, 56. Ka5 Ra2+, 57 e1Q+ allowing black the tempo to exploit the Q+R v R+R advantage.      Jun-13-10 B Pantebre Martinez vs E Paoli, 1976    Utopian2020: White must always block Black's Bishop. 67. Ke1 allowed Ba5+, with which Black gains the tempo needed to complete his invasion. 67. Bc3 continues White's blockade of Black's bishop. Clearly Black has no forced win.      May-20-10 Tal vs K Grigorian, 1982    Utopian2020: I got 28. Qd8 gxf5, 29. Kg1 threatening 30. Re1, but I thought I had not solved the puzzle, so I worked on it for another 30 minutes.      May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010    Utopian2020: I predict Anand will still win, but he will have taken the scenic route.      May-06-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010    Utopian2020: Perhaps Re7, then Rxe6.      Apr-29-10 Gligoric vs J Rosenstein, 1963    Utopian2020: Rosenstein has only one game in the CG database. Hopefully, this game was not among his best.      Apr-04-10 Smyslov vs K Grigorian, 1976     Mar-28-10 J Vetemaa vs Shabalov, 1986     Mar-18-10 J Polgar vs K Arkell, 1988     Mar-05-10 S Brzozka vs Bronstein, 1963     Jan-30-10 Ding Liren vs H Ni, 2009     Jan-24-10 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1991     Jan-23-10 Krasenkow vs M Markovic, 1990     Jan-15-10 G Kuzmin vs B Alterman, 1989     Jan-07-10 C Lutz vs J Balcerak, 2000     Jan-06-10 E Tate vs S Sulskis, 2001     Dec-31-09 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Kotov, 1938     Dec-28-09 Robatsch vs Jansa, 1974     Nov-25-09 R Nezhmetdinov vs Y Kotkov, 1957     Nov-19-09 M Pavlovic vs G Cabrilo, 1991     Nov-17-09 Mackenzie vs Steinitz, 1883     Oct-18-09 J Roos vs G Miralles, 1997     Oct-15-09 E Berg vs Leko, 1995     Oct-04-09 E Limp vs A Rodriguez Vila, 2001     Sep-22-09 M Illescas vs Adams, 1992     Aug-31-09 M Borriss vs C Bauer, 2006     Aug-28-09 V Pajkovic vs G Cabrilo, 1991     Aug-07-09 Avrukh vs Rublevsky, 2003     Aug-02-09 B Ivanovic vs G Ginsburg, 2003     Jul-27-09 W Fairhurst vs Menchik, 1935     Jul-23-09 A Sokolov vs Bagirov, 1993     Jul-22-09 Karpov vs Ribli, 1986     Jul-20-09 J Gluckie vs M Moran-Venegas, 2009     Jul-19-09 V Varavin vs V M Kozlov, 2002     Jul-14-09 M Boe vs C Yeuillaz, 1991     Jun-26-09 N Gaprindashvili vs A Blagidze, 1963     Jun-22-09 S Shipov vs Kupreichik, 1990    Jun-22-09 Rublevsky vs S Shipov, 1991     Jun-21-09 S Zagrebelny vs A Ponyi, 1992     Jun-18-09 Shabalov vs R Elseth, 1991     Jun-17-09 A Hahn vs R Kaufman, 2000     Jun-10-09 M Burkett vs D Fritzinger, 1969     May-27-09 M Apicella vs C Bauer, 2003     May-23-09 Y Gonzalez Vidal vs A Abreu Delgado, 2005     May-20-09 M Gurevich vs R Ovetchkin, 2007     May-09-09 L Milman vs J Fang, 2005     May-03-09 O Gavrilov vs S Solovjov, 2005     May-02-09 Z Varga vs Z Gyimesi, 2005     Apr-27-09 Timman vs A Yusupov, 1987     Apr-25-09 Breyer vs J Esser, 1917     Apr-20-09 Kudrin vs A C Chow, 1989     Apr-06-09 Adams vs S Vanderwaeren, 1994     Mar-30-09 M Rogan vs J Rizzitano, 1989     Mar-29-09 V Akopian vs Kramnik, 2004     Mar-28-09 D Ciuksyte vs V Golod, 2003     Mar-27-09 T Fogarasi vs N Medvegy, 2003     Mar-25-09 V Malakhatko vs Timoshenko, 2003     Mar-24-09 NN vs Shearer, 1978     Mar-19-09 E Hearst vs S Wachs, 1954     Mar-18-09 Smeets vs Le Quang Liem, 2008     Mar-15-09 Bologan vs P Schlosser, 2004     Mar-11-09 Tartakower vs M Billecard, 1907     Mar-03-09 Kolisch vs S F Loyd, 1867     Feb-18-09 Bird vs Pinkerley, 1850     Feb-15-09 A Wojtkiewicz vs S Skembris, 1990     Feb-13-09 J Piket vs Gulko, 1990     Feb-11-09 X Zhao vs X Bu, 2005     Feb-09-09 Lusgin vs A L Ioffe, 1968     Jan-28-09 A Naumann vs W Teerapabpaisit, 2008     Jan-27-09 Suba vs Portisch, 1984     Jan-26-09 N Firman vs Areshchenko, 2008     Jan-24-09 Movsesian vs Adams, 2009     Jan-20-09 Larsen vs P Large, 1987     Jan-18-09 Anand vs Macieja, 2000     Jan-13-09 Tkachiev vs Ponomariov, 2008     Jan-09-09 P H Nielsen vs Larsen, 1997     Dec-26-08 Epishin vs Gheorghiu, 1993     Dec-25-08 R Pereira vs F Schellmann, 2008     Dec-21-08 H Hecht vs H Schaufelberger, 1973     Dec-18-08 Buhmann vs B Saeheng, 2008
